Oh dear.

 

[lt519]

just turned on the stream...jumped in at an awkward time

 

[idonteven]

what the...

 

[Dr.Acula]

Just started watching the stream--how long has it been on?

Also geez update on the 12th? Destiny v Dark Souls 3 v The Division.

Half an hour in. I think they're gonna do another half-hour?

 

[T.O.P]

 

[bati]

They said they tested incursions in the tester lab and it was really hard, so they made it even harder

Jesus. I'm getting flashbacks to D3 and Jay "we doubled it" Wilson's approach to game design.

 

[wesleyshark]

All this stuff sounds great. Amazing to get so much direct communication in only week 3 of this game. Take note DeeJ.

DeeJ is crafting a cryptic reply that's actually fucking nothing as we speak!

 

[DomsPlaying]

Can I get those two minutes of my life back? That video was miserable. Sigh

 

[LiK]

He's too busy not playing Destiny

 

[Granadier]

GOOOOOOOOOD JOOOOBBB

 

[commish]

Update sounds so good, SO GOOD

 

[Klyka]

SHowing start of incursion now

incursion has recommended gear score 150

so yeah, it'll be crushed on day 1 XD

 

[VE3TRO]

Incursion is underground in the water treatment areas.

 

[Ruruja]

Twitch chat killing any motivation I had to continue developing my game.

 

[lt519]

31 purples, pfftt

 

[ChubbleDucks]

Noticed everyone in team had different skills and specials.

 

[VE3TRO]

Level 31 shotgunners at the start of the mission.

 

[bjaelke]

185 Gear Score Allison as the tank. That's bound to fail.

 

[derwalde]

Sounds really nice but dark Souls 3 launches the same fucking day. Why would you do that?

 

[Klyka]

take everything you see right now with a grain of salt

we got people on console playing not optimally.

those two enemies would have died in 2 seconds in normal circumstances

also remember that usually groups will run with 2+ flashbang stickies, if not more, which will again make content much easier

 

[LiK]

Wish they made a companion app so I can check my gear without booting up the game.

 

[firehawk12]

Did you miss the whole point of this update is Incursions which are all PvE?

Yeah, but to get all the gear you need to go in there you still need to DZ.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

This all seems good but the move to gear score seems so soon.

Most people aren't even close to considering any of this.

 

[arts&crafts]

Supply drops every 1 hour or so in the Dark Zone. Only 1 group can get it so its a race. Hard enemies will guard it.

If you get the item you will keep it because they aren't contaminated. You dont need to extract so people can't steal if they go rogue.

So once you start combat you get it, even if you die? Like what if I kill you while you started it but didnt kill the mobs.

 

[Granadier]

Yeah, but to get all the gear you need to go in there you still need to DZ.

Oh my god.

 

[fr0st]

Totally not going to grenade + sticky bomb the supply drops.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

40k skill power already paying off

 

[Klyka]

Yeah, but to get all the gear you need to go in there you still need to DZ.

it has recommended gear score of 150 which is basically nothing.

a single HE item has 201 gear score.

 

[Jblanks]

Yeah, but to get all the gear you need to go in there you still need to DZ.

Set items drop from blueprints, and challenge mode also.

 

[Dr.Acula]

*blank stare*

I have less than zero interest in the story or characters.

I have no idea who these people are, lol.

 

[commish]

This all seems good but the move to gear score seems so soon.

How do you know that most people aren't close to any of this...? Not watching the stream, so don't know if they said some stats or something like that. What is the level needed for incursions and what is the average level now?

 

[GustyGardens]

I missed most of the beginning. I can't wait to catch up and hear about the update.

 

[ph1l0z0ph3r]

Yeah, but to get all the gear you need to go in there you still need to DZ.

Huh? You could easily craft enough pieces from running CM and Dailys to get PC for blueprints and gear off the vendor in the home base. Not to mention I believe they said Gear Set and Blueprints can drop from CM also.

 

[fr0st]

*blank stare*

You don't care about Alex?

 

[VE3TRO]

So once you start combat you get it, even if you die? Like what if I kill you while you started it but didnt kill the mobs.

Once I've grabbed the gear its ours. You can't take it from me so its first to get to it. Maybe you will have to kill all the mobs defending it before it drops though.

 

[golem]

So once you start combat you get it, even if you die? Like what if I kill you while you started it but didnt kill the mobs.

Sounds like whoever grabs it keeps it

 

[Klyka]

incursions have two difficulties

hard mode is the standard and then a harder mode

 

[Anton Sugar]

Two difficulties.

 

[DomsPlaying]

31 purples, pfftt

Multiple difficulties I think. This must be the lower one.

 

[catspit]

1/15 waves. Ugh

 

[Ruruja]

15 waves. Sounds a looooot.

 

[arts&crafts]

Sounds like whoever grabs it keeps it

I assume you will have to kill mobs before you can pick it up though, like you cant just run in and grab an item on the ground instantly I assume.

 

[VE3TRO]

Incursions have 2 modes. Hard mode needs to have around level 31 gear. Challenging will be best with new gear sets. Didn't say what levels but probably 32 or 33?

 

[lt519]

They say hard...but they look awful

Hard and Challenging mode for incursion, recommend all HE ilvl 31 for hard mode.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

How do you know that most people aren't close to any of this...? Not watching the stream, so don't know if they said some stats or something like that. What is the level needed for incursions and what is the average level now?

I mean overall from everyone who bought the game. The high end crazy players like us are likely only 10% of the player base.

 

[Dr.Acula]

You don't care about Alex?

Oh Alex, of course I care about... her? Him? Help me out. Is that the lady that runs the medical wing?

 

[firehawk12]

it has recommended gear score of 150 which is basically nothing.

a single HE item has 201 gear score.

They just said you need the equivalent of level 31 gear, so...

Set items drop from blueprints, and challenge mode also.

Yeah, so higher DZ ranks for the DZ blueprints (yay?) or grinding Lexington over and over again.

 

[Klyka]

make that 5% if not less

They just said you need the equivalent of level 31 gear, so...

What they say is meaningless, they are devs trying to sell their game design.
There are lvl 31 purple enemies. They are trivial basically so far.

Getting purples is so easy. Challenge modes give you guaranteed high end gear at the end of each one.
gearing yourself up in this game is so god damn simple and you never need to step in the DZ

 

[Darryl M R]

What rewards come from this incursion? I am assuming it is only 1 long mission, why would I continue grinding, what level loot will drop?

 

[golem]

I assume you will have to kill mobs before you can pick it up though, like you cant just run in and grab an item on the ground instantly I assume.

Probably have to interact with something like a crate, so difficult with mobs and potentially other players shooting at you

 

[RunningRiot]

So now I'm wondering if I should save my PC for set gear blueprints instead of spending on the DZ06 blueprints.
